strings

Question

does anyone know how c# encodes strings? is it UTF-8 like java or something else? I've tried looking in the msdn documentation but i can't really find it anywhere. Thank

Hi If you want more control over the format include System.Text where you have the ASCIIEncoding UTF8Encoding etc classes for handling conversions. For example when I send some data via a HttpPost to some old VB legacy code I have to go through UTF8 before it works. Cheers

Hi Yes It encodes strings in utf-8 format but still this can be changed by configuring it in the machine.config file. Thanks edward prakash

As far as I know strings can be handled just like in Java. Should be the same encoding too. Greetings gilthanas
